2 Samuel 9
1 David sagde: »Er der endnu nogen tilbage af Sauls Hus? Saa vil jeg vise Godhed imod ham for Jonatans Skyld!«
And Dauid sayde, Is there yet any man left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him mercie for Ionathans sake?
2 Nu var der i Sauls Hus en Træl ved Navn Ziba; han blev kaldt op til David, og Kongen sagde til ham: »Er du Ziba?« Han svarede: »Ja, det er din Træl!«
And there was of the housholde of Saul a seruant whose name was Ziba, and when they had called him vnto Dauid, the King sayd vnto him, Art thou Ziba? And he sayd, I thy seruant am he.
3 Da sagde Kongen: »Er der ingen tilbage af Sauls Hus? Saa vil jeg vise Guds Godhed imod ham.« Ziba svarede Kongen: »Der lever endnu en Søn af Jonatan; han er lam i Fødderne.«
Then the King sayd, Remayneth there yet none of the house of Saul, on whome I may shewe the mercie of God? Ziba then answered the King, Ionathan hath yet a sonne lame of his feete.
4 Da spurgte Kongen: »Hvor er han?« Og Ziba svarede Kongen: »Han er i Makirs, Ammiels Søns, Hus i Lodebar.«
Then the King said vnto him, Where is he? And Ziba said vnto the King, Behold, he is in the house of Machir ye sonne of Ammiel of Lo-debar.
5 Saa lod Kong David ham hente i Makirs, Ammiels Søns, Hus i Lodebar.
Then King Dauid sent, and tooke him out of the house of Machir the sonne of Ammiel of Lo-debar.
6 Da Mefibosjet, Sauls Søn Jonatans Søn, kom ind til David, faldt han paa sit Ansigt og bøjede sig. David sagde: »Mefibosjet!« Han svarede: »Ja, her er din Træl!«
Nowe when Mephibosheth the sonne of Ionathan, the sonne of Saul was come vnto Dauid, he fel on his face, and did reuerence. And Dauid sayde, Mephibosheth? And he answered, Beholde thy seruant.
7 David sagde til ham: »Frygt ikke! Jeg vil vise dig Godhed for din Fader Jonatans Skyld og give dig hele din Fader Sauls Jordegods tilbage; og du skal altid spise ved mit Bord.«
Then Dauid sayd vnto him, Feare not: for I wil surely shewe thee kindnes for Ionathan thy fathers sake, and will restore thee all the fieldes of Saul thy father, and thou shalt eate bread at my table continually.
8 Da bøjede han sig og sagde: »Hvad er din Træl, siden du tager Hensyn til en død Hund som mig?«
And he bowed himselfe and sayd, What is thy seruant, that thou shouldest looke vpon such a dead dog as I am?
9 Derpaa lod Kongen Sauls Tjener Ziba kalde og sagde til ham: »Alt, hvad der tilhørte Saul og hele hans Hus, har jeg givet din Herres Søn;
Then the king called Ziba Sauls seruant, and said vnto him, I haue giue vnto thy masters sonne all that perteined to Saul and to all his house.
10 men du tillige med dine Sønner og Trælle skal dyrke Jorden og indhøste Afgrøden, for at din Herres Hus kan have sit Underhold deraf; men din Herres Søn Mefibosjet skal altid spise ved mit Bord.« Ziba havde femten Sønner og tyve Trælle.
Thou therefore and thy sonnes and thy seruantes shall till the lande for him, and bring in that thy masters sonne may haue foode to eate. And Mephibosheth thy masters sonne shall eate bread alway at my table (nowe Ziba had fifteene sonnes, and twentie seruants)
11 Da sagde Ziba til Kongen: »Din Træl vil gøre, ganske som min Herre Kongen byder!« Mefibosjet spiste saa ved Davids Bord, som var han en af Kongens Sønner.
Then sayd Ziba vnto the King, According to all that my lord the King hath commaded his seruant, so shall thy seruat do, that Mephibosheth may eate at my table, as one of the Kings sonnes.
12 Mefibosjet havde en lille Søn ved Navn Mika. Hele Zibas Husstand var Mefibosjets Trælle.
Mephibosheth also had a yong sonne named Micha, and all that dwelled in the house of Ziba, were seruants vnto Mephibosheth.
13 Og Mefibosjet boede i Jerusalem, thi han spiste altid ved Kongens Bord. Og han var lam i begge Fødder.
And Mephibosheth dwelt in Ierusalem: for he did eate continually at the Kings table, and was lame on both his feete.
